Crème de Menthe one of the most popular liqueurs is actually quite easy to
simulate. The majority of home recipes use peppermint as the flavoring ingredient and no
other. But there is another mint that is required spearmint. Spearmint somewhat masks the
peppermint flavor while sweetening and smoothing out the entire composition. Spearmint is
very powerful and if you add too much, youre going to get the flavor of toothpaste!
